I had not done yoga for years and felt the need to try it out again. I went to Laura’s class to stretch and hopefully gain back my flexibility. It was a little intimidating getting myself to the class but once I was in there working with Laura, I felt comfortable, relaxed and encouraged to come back sooner. I was back the next week!!
